Cabbage is Cheap Too!

Interesting post BR, I've heard of it being called "the bean herb" but never with any explanation of WHY...my closest grocer has many, many ethnic products available, I'll keep an eye out for it now, thanks!

Funny the great answers we get to joke questions. LOL.

I gotta get some of that stuff.

If a bean is mashed the gas is released and you don't get the gas that causes gas. Yeah for puree!

I always freeze my cabbage for rolls. It is the easiest thing ever. Give it a day or two to thaw out. The leaves are super flexible and never split. I saute my rice and onion in butter for a few minutes then wrap them in the leaves. Extra leaves on bottom to avoid burning. Tuck them in tight and pour a large can of Tomato JUICE on top. I don't use soup because the juice has spicier flavour.salt and pepper. cook in 350 oven for about 1.5 hour or until the aroma drives everyone crazy waiting for them!

How long do you leave a large head of cabbage in the freezer for this to work ?? I tried this once but I had no directions .So I tried 4 hours but after reading your thread I know I did not leave it to thaw long enough I ended up boiling it to stuff . This would be a great time saver if I can get it to work, as for ever haliday & family gathering we make a huge roaster full of potatoes stuffed cabbage layer of Smoked sausage covered in sourkraut.

Freeze for a few days and let thaw for at least 1 full day.
